Edward Franklin Clancy (born 12 March 1985) is a British former professional track and road bicycle racer, who competed between 2004 and 2021.

During his career, Clancy won four medals (three gold, one bronze) at the Summer Olympic Games, twelve medals (six gold, five silver and one bronze) at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, seven medals (five gold, two bronze) at the UEC European Track Championships, as well as a silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He also was part of eight world record times in the team pursuit, and was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours,[1] and an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to cycling.[2]

Career

On 17 August 2008, Clancy was a member of the Olympic team pursuit squad which broke the world record in the heats with 3:55.202, beating Russia to the ride-off for silver and gold.[3] The next day, on their way to winning the gold medal, the British team broke their own world record in 3:53.314, beating Denmark by 6.7 seconds.[4]

On 4 April 2012, Clancy was part of the Great Britain team which set a new world record of 3:53.295 in winning the gold medal in the team pursuit at the 2012 World Track Cycling Championships in Melbourne.[5]

After the 2012 Olympic Games, where he set a time of 1:00.981 in the Omnium Kilo Time Trial, British Cycling announced that Clancy would replace Sir Chris Hoy in the Great Britain team for the team sprint event, where he rode in the Man 3 position. Despite finishing 2nd in the Glasgow round of the World Cup, Clancy returned to the endurance team for the 2013 World Championships.

In November 2018, it was announced that Clancy would join the Template:Cycling data RAL for the 2019 season, after the Template:Cycling data JLT team which he had been part of for eight years confirmed that it would be disbanding at the end of the year.[6]

In August 2021, during the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics, Clancy announced his retirement.[7] His final competition was the 2021 UCI Track Champions League, which concluded in December of that year with a double header at the Lee Valley VeloPark.[8]

In February 2023 Clancy was announced as the new active travel commissioner for South Yorkshire, following Dame Sarah Storey and working for South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard.[9]
